In a nod to the North-West University’s (NWU’s) outstanding research abilities the Albertina Sisulu Research Chair in Nursing Science has been upgraded by the National Research Foundation (NRF) and will continue for another five years under the South African Research Chairs Initiative (SARChI) The SARChI extension followed a successful evaluation process in which the chair Independent experts assessed the chairholder’s report and supporting documents composed of researchers from multiple disciplines The NRF also upgraded the chair’s status to Tier 1 a designation for researchers with international recognition in their field the NWU’s deputy vice-chancellor for research and innovation says the chair’s upgrade underscores its contributions to the university’s research output “This achievement strengthens the NWU’s standing in health sciences research It is a testament to the work being done to advance nursing science and train researchers who will shape the future of the field.” The NRF has emphasised the importance of institutional support in ensuring the chair’s long-term sustainability and the NWU is expected to provide resources to sustain the chair’s impact beyond the current funding cycle launched in 2006 by the Department of Science and Technology and managed by the NRF aims to grow South Africa’s research capacity by retaining top scholars and generating new knowledge The initiative supports public universities research councils and national research facilities with a focus on scientific advancement and transformation in the knowledge

of struggle stalwart There will also be a memorial lecture to honour her legacy later in the day Sisulu was a political and community activist and a key leader of apartheid resistance in South Africa Her husband Walter Sisulu was accused 2 in the Rivonia Treason Trial and spent 25 years on Robben Island alongside Nelson Mandela The rift between President Cyril Ramaphosa’s ANC administration and former minister Lindiwe Sisulu widened this week when she snubbed the party’s hastily organised memorial lecture for her mother and party icon Albertina “MaSisulu” Sisulu at Uncle Tom’s Hall in Orlando West shunned the ANC’s event after the party invited her to her mother’s commemoration event through a phone call on Sunday The call came the day before the event which was characterised by wreath-laying ceremony and memorial lecture Those close to Lindiwe said the ANC’s conduct was disrespectful towards her and the family because the invitation was almost like an afterthought said she and about ten family members attended the ANC event after receiving a message that the family was invited she could not confirm whether this was done in writing since she was a junior in the family and her mother could not attend purely due to reasons of “ill health” The ANC’s proceedings initially planned to feature Ramaphosa as the keynote speaker but did not attend as he was out of the country ANC spokesperson Mahlengi Bhengu-Motsiri did not respond to questions sent on Friday and when cornered on the sidelines of the ANC’s national executive committee meeting this weekend at the Birchwood Hotel in Boksburg Lindiwe has been one of the most vocal critics of Ramaphosa’s ANC leadership and contested against him for the party presidency during the 2022 leadership succession race replacing her in the portfolio of human settlements and sanitation with opposition leader Patricia De Lille will launch on Thursday in Robben Island and later host a memorial lecture for MaSisulu at the University of Cape Town Referring to the struggle contributions of MaSisulu and her husband the foundation said: “The time to interpret the world through their paradigm and lenses in order to overcome today’s socioeconomic injustices has arrived.”  “It is time for their inspiring and dependable story to be authentically shared and it needs to be pushed to the surface for generations to know the anatomical evolution of this country.”  The foundation also added that “this event will bring together leaders from various strands Mdekazi said that by embracing MaSisulu’s spirit and values “we can only create a brighter future for all” “Her legacy serves as a powerful reminder towards the importance of perseverance and collective action in overcoming socioeconomic injustices.”   Visit

collection of the Albertina in Vienna It comprises miniatures and large-format panoramas drawings with tonal colour palettes and depictions full of chromatic intensity realistic views and abstract

will be published to accompany the exhibition The Albertina in Vienna is one of the most significant art collections in the world the museum covers seven centuries of art history spanning the late Middle Ages and the Renaissance to the present day This encyclopaedic breadth and the multitude of major works by both the most famous Old Masters and artists of classical modernism and contemporary art have made the tradition-rich museum in Vienna’s centre famous Many of the Albertina’s works have long been part of humanity’s trove of images Established on 4 July 1776 by Duke Albert of Saxony-Teschen (1738–1822) the Albertina houses one of the world’s oldest princely collections The Tchoban Foundation Museum of Architectural Drawing was built in 2013 on the site of the former

"She said, 'Thank you very much, my friend. Only you could lift me up. I was very hurt'," revealed Frossard afterwards. "Now she will recover. I hope she comes back well. "We are both elderly (laughs), and friends who sit down for coffee and chat. We don't have much time to go out at night, but we are lifelong friends.” By match end, Brazil had won 30-19 to progress to the knockout stages, but Frossard empathised with the disappointed Angola players. “I respect the Angolan team a lot. They've had a wonderful journey," Frossard concluded. "Unfortunately, one team had to be out, but that's what sports are all about.” As are moments of friendship and compassion, the pair demonstrating the importance of the moments that go beyond winning and losing. The women's handball tournament continues with the knockout stages on 6 August with Brazil taking on Norway, the winners at London 2012, and bronze medallists from the past two Olympic Games, at 21:30 local time in the last quarter-final of the day. This show offers a unique perspective on Schiele’s stylistic evolution over the course of an intensely prolific decade cut short by his untimely death at the age of 28 which underscores the decisive role that this artist’s graphic work played in shaping the history of art and consolidating his own international reputation Covering every stage of his career—the early pieces produced while studying at the Academy of Fine Arts works heavily influenced by Gustav Klimt and Viennese Modernism and the output of his final years in which he made a break with naturalism characterized by a radical use of color and new unsettling motifs such as explicitly erotic nudes or portraits of children—Egon Schiele is a singular fascinating review of the oeuvre of an artist who revolutionized art history Download PDF ExhibitionsPress ReleasesFAQsHow can I get permission to take pictures or shoot a video inside or outside the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao?Just send an email to media@guggenheim-bilbao.eus Make sure you include the following information: type of video; date etc.); interview requests; special information requests you must send a list of all team members before the day of the shooting The use of Museum images in videos and other audio-visual productions may be subject to a fee Our Images Committee reviews every request individually Since this may take three working days to two full weeks we suggest you plan your video shooting ahead of time Just follow this link and download the images you need Reproductions other than the aforementioned require approval in writing from the Museum You will find all the relevant information about the exhibitions in the Press Room of our website Just show your press card at the admission desk for free admission Please bear in mind that journalists are granted free admission to the Museum in exchange for promotion of the Museum’s exhibitions Just send an email to media@guggenheim-bilbao.eus, including all the relevant information about your work as a journalist and the media you work for. The Albertina Museum presents the first museum exhibition of the American-Italian artist Francesca Woodman in Austria with works from the Verbun Collection the Verbun Collection has continuously acquired photographs by Woodman it has one of the most comprehensive collections of this extraordinary artist The show displays a total of around 100 photographs Francesca Woodman (1958-1981) created her oeuvre in an 9-year creative phase from 1973 to 1981 Her work is characterized by a passionate self-presentation and the creative positioning of the female body in space in the context of conceptual photography and performance are black and white and were taken with a medium format camera Like many artists of the feminist avant-garde the artist often uses her body naked and in a surprisingly unconventional way she explores her curiosity about the female self The fleeting appearance of the female body is often interpreted as an aesthetic anticipation of her suicide at the age of 22 aims to interpret her work not from the end of her creative period the artist succeeded in staging the female body in space in a virtuoso and unique way as well as her skillful formal use of light and shadow Her subtle use of these props creates a poetic metaphor suggest answers and reflect a specific ambivalence about what it means to be a woman Woodman's work only gained international recognition after her death in the early 1980s and is widely received today The themes of her works revolve around femininity vulnerability and the creative self-presentation of the female body The artist left behind an impressive body of work that remains unique and visionary even four decades after her death Georg Baselitz's Remix-paintings or Joseph Beuys's protest signs: The Viehof Collection is one of the most important private collections in Germany whose focus is undoubtedly on the art of its own country with a special focus on those artists who shaped the Rhineland and its art centers of Cologne and Düsseldorf as a nucleus of the avant-garde of international importance 24 artist positions were selected for the major spring exhibition in order to present the development of German painting and sculpture after 1960 The show presents an overview of the depth of this collection: from Joseph Beuys to the field of figurative and abstract art of the 21st century which is represented by works by Neo Rauch It is a show of contrasts that presents itself at the Albertina Modern: Sigmar Polke Jörg Immendorff and Georg Baselitz are placed in a pathetically expansive setting with numerous large formats next to the conceptual works of Joseph Beuys and Rosemarie Trockel while a few rooms further on the works of Anne Imhof and Katharina Grosse speak a completely different language the exhibition is a dialogical presentation conceived from loans from the Viehof Collection paired with works from the Albertina collections It is intended to make the most essential works from the Rhineland collection accessible to a broad Austrian public and to show how excellently the two collections interlock the museum's own collection will also be reexamined and the approaches it contains will become more legible and visible a remix is a new version of already composed pieces of music - the editing of original recordings in which the existing voices or soundtracks are remixed This is also how our presentation is to be understood – the Viehof Collection and the Albertina Museum's own contemporary collection are remixed here in order to highlight the strengths and topicality of both collections and bring contemporary art closer to our visitors in a multifaceted composed duet Although Remix – From Gerhard Richter to Katharina Grosse is the Viehof Collection's first major appearance in Austria its relationship with the Albertina Museum goes back a long way: individual important works from the Viehof Collection have been on permanent loan to the Albertina Museum since 2007 an intensification of the collaboration in the form of a longterm cooperation has been agreed for the coming years Researching the Viehof Collection – its various works and artist positions – opens up two options for the Albertina Museum: On the one hand relevant works and groups of works by the names represented in both collections can be brought together thus providing the public with a broad insight into their oeuvre the complementary differences between the two collections can be seen in those artists who are not represented on both sides and also contribute to the expansion of the view of contemporary art Some of the artist positions that can be presented to the public for the first time through the Viehof Collection's holdings are still little known in Austria and have hardly been shown until now Nairy Baghramian's eccentric sculptures and Karin Kneffel's masterful,figurative paintings will have their own rooms dedicated to them The exhibition True colors - Color in photography from 1849 to 1955 answers this question with outstanding works from the Albertina Museum's photo collection The desire for color in photography has dominated the world of photography from the very beginning True colors traces the development of color photography from the first experimental techniques in the 19th century to generally applicable analog color photography daguerreotypes and salt paper prints were colored by hand to create colorful images which enjoyed great popularity until the 1890s also contributed to the broad chromatic diversity of 19th-century photographs which was reserved for an exclusive circle The brilliant images in the so-called interference color process are based on the physical principle of standing waves which also allows us to see colored reflections in soap bubbles The unique pieces from the Albertina Museum’s Collection represent a unique focal point brought about a major change in image culture It was also practicable for amateurs and helped its inventors it was mainly used as a glass slide for projection fine art printing processes were developed that used color pigments to produce multicolored image solutions They fulfilled the artistic aspirations of the Pictorialists and were commonplace in large photo studios until the 1930s the challenge was to obtain colored prints on paper This was also achieved at the beginning of the 20th century with the use of various three-color processes Kodak finally achieved the breakthrough to easy-to-use and therefore mass-market color photography in 1936 with the first 35mm color slide films These products revolutionized the use of colour photography in the following decades which form the conclusion of this Albertina Museum exhibition True colors provides an insight into the rich holdings of the Albertina Museum's photography collection the historical part of which is based on the collection of the Höhere Graphische Bundes- Lehr- und Versuchsanstalt (GLV) The exhibition demonstrates the great public interest the constant development and the various fields of application of historical photography in color True colors also explores the impact of popular color processes on the visual culture of the early 20th century The New York Times has called Matthew Wong »one of the most talented painters of his generation.« This Chinese-Canadian artist straddled the frontier between Far-Eastern and Western art and was influenced equally by van Gogh and Shitao both of whom figured significantly in his individual development was an autodidact who came late to art: his impressive oeuvre arose during a brief period encompassing his final eight years of life The artist engaged with modernist stances as well as with varieties of expressive art produced by his contemporaries This exhibition is conceived as a juxtaposition of around 44 paintings and 12 works on paper by Wong with selected works by van Gogh It is being mounted in cooperation with the Van Gogh

Sisulu [Wise Art Trip - 21] The Leopold Museum and Albertina in Vienna We're going to meet the Leopold Museum of Art and Albertina+Albertina Modern as the last museum in Vienna At the museum for Egon Schiele and the museum where you can meet colorful contemporary art we found a point where the art of the masters meets as one I'm going to solve the reason for the trip I went on this trip There is a reason why I left for Eastern Europe in the middle of winter when there was a bleak wind The reason I visited Vienna before the end of February was because there were two exhibitions ahead of the closing Whenever I wrote the story of a young artist born in the 1970s and 1980s who began to gain spotlight with the creation of a new market called Ultra-Contemporary Art I was curious and there was an artist I wanted to meet I had the opportunity to experience individual works as a special exhibition held during the art fair but I really wanted to see their exhibitions planned in one complete form Adrian Guenny was the first artist to write an article on ultra-modern art that appeared in the art world in 2022 I think it's enough to explain that he is the only writer in his 40s with 10 million dollars He is the world's most popular artist whose original works have never been displayed at the annual Frieze Seoul in Korea the artist's private exhibition was being held side by side at Albertina in Vienna and SKD in Dresden so he urgently cut off tickets to cross Eastern Europe is the space where Duke Albert von Saxon-Teschen and his wife Marie Christine was the most cherished daughter of Empress Maria Theresia who enjoyed the luxury of the court in this mansion Twenty reception rooms full of colorful furniture are displayed as if the collection had been hung in the house as a room in an art gallery a Vienna coffee known for its blend of coffee and milk the space is a place where the combination of modern exhibitions and antique old palaces creates an extraordinary atmosphere It is now also an art museum with vast architectural archives with donations from architectural masters It is a place where more than 10 large-scale special exhibitions are held annually but the museum's collection is also interesting and has many rare works The appetizer is like a more famous restaurant than the main dish The Albertina Museum of Art's collection of graphic art has held more than a million drawings and prints from the Gothic period to the present day From Michelangelo and Dürer to Rembrandt and Rubens the collection is a museum of great educational use as it unravels a rich overview of 600 years of art history so even the museum's signage works cannot be permanently displayed As it is carefully selected as part of an annual special exhibition it takes 'lucky' to meet Albertina's masterpieces Leonardo da Vinci and Albrecht Dürer (1471-1528) were preparing for a hammering Albertina's most beloved work is "Hare" (1502) by Albrecht Dürer It's probably the most famous animal painting in art history the size (25.1 x 22.6 cm) was really small which is tilted toward the wall like an artist's easel The description of the warm light and hair texture on the rabbit's ears and body is considered the height of nature observation The window inside the room is reflected through the eyes The reflection of the interior makes it possible to speculate that Dürer might have caught the young rabbit and painted it by observing it indoors for a long time which takes A and D from his initials and draws them like ciphers in the form of an inquiry The self-portrait he drew at age 28 and the portrait of Emperor Maximilian that he met last week had a monogram engraved in gold This rabbit became so famous that it was painted by 12 artists at that time alone His most famous posthumous self-portrait is in Munich I'm already looking forward to June's "Travel to Meet Dürer." Right next to this room was a drawing of the wings of a blue bird The drawing of a portrait of young Jesus is also famous It was a lot of fun to get a glimpse of the genius painter representing the Renaissance in Buk-gu Albertina is the largest museum of contemporary art in Vienna with three spaces A five-minute walk from the main building is Albertina Modern which holds a special exhibition of contemporary art this historic building (Queensler House) underwent remodeling and became a venue for large-scale installations humorous sculptures by Erwin Wurm were on display the pieces of people caught on the hanger were sensual and pleasant the venue now holds Jenny Saville's solo exhibition and Kaws' exhibition in the second half of the year Exhibitions of star artists continue nonstop is a space for special exhibitions centered on works of art since 1945 which have grown significantly in recent years due to active donations a Inmoo Lee performed by the masters of the past and the present It was touching to see the works of the most radical and innovative artists of the time and the artists who were at odds with the times were displayed side by side and loved by the citizens of Vienna enthusiastically Matthew Wong (1984-2019) is Van Gogh in the Facebook Era He is a late genius painter who is writing myths in the 21st century His life is very similar to Van Gogh in that he feuded with the feeling that he could not belong to the world It's also similar that a painting is an artist who talks to himself and immediately evokes emotions without needing a complicated explanation like Van Gogh the way such simple and easy-to-understand art gained popularity made me reflect on myself as a member of the closed art world He began painting on his own at the late age of 27 He suffered from Tourette syndrome and communicated on the Internet without the world's knowledge but he became a star in New York after his solo exhibition was very successful the most expensive artist born in the 1980s it is surprising that he will hold a two-person exhibition alongside Van Gogh at the Van Gogh Museum like the title of the exhibition (Painting as a Last Resort The Chinese-Canadian artist was noted for his ingenuity that crossed the boundaries of Eastern and Western art and the artist who was most affected was Van Gogh How thrilled would it be to find out that it's on display side by side with your idol after death It was impressive to see Matthew Wong's painting which continues its record march whenever it is submitted to Christie's and Sotheby's auctions in one place over the course of seven years he painted still-life paintings with black paint like Eastern ink painting the painting method became bolder and bolder and he absorbed the individuality of the old masters and moved on to his own art Matthew Wong established his style of imaginative landscapes using intense colors Van Gogh was a source of inspiration for Matthew Wong His influence is unquestionable in terms of intense color use I liked the dreamy landscape painting most with the road stretching towards the calm rising moon of the dark night he seemed to have a vague view of his path The artist's passion for burning his last time like a flame "Schile was part of my intellectual archive I am interested in Schiele's transformation and stretching of the human form Once the constraints of anatomy are left behind deformation of the human body can become a portrait of the mind at a deeper level This play in human form is the beginning of something new." Adrian Ghenie (born 1977) is the "most expensive young artist in existence" who set a $10 million auction record for the first time in his 30s He grew up in Romania under dictatorship and freely uses materials such as politics melting critical perspectives and original personalities into his paintings who dissolves the weak body of man like a piece of meat He showed an exhibition that was so well suited to Egon Schiele's city Schiele's work went missing or destroyed about a quarter during World War II The artist of the 21st century revived Schiele's lost masterpiece known only as a black-and-white photograph and called "shadow painting." Shadow Paintings (closing March 2) presents a bizarre form of modern-day portrait that seems to have emerged from Schiele's mind in a cavernous room with white marble glistening with only photographs hanging in the Leopold Museum of Art people who happen in the coffin are cradling their faces and being confused the figures in the coffin are completely crushed and cannot read their facial expressions The figure above is holding something in his hand familiar with the cover of Agota Christoph's novel Three Lies of Existence by Magpie Publishing was also reborn as a modern man addicted to the Internet by Guenny Both of Schiele's paintings chosen by Guenny are double self-portraits painted in two forms as if it were a split mind this project would have been a very interesting challenge with the anxiety and pleasure of the end of the century still seems to be having the same existential problem 100 years later Schiele is a painter who uses the human body as a tool to express deeper emotional and psychological states They asked questions about human existence It seems as if Guenny is asking the same question through an alien who chose traditional material by redrawing art history masters We've already met them in the drawing that was presented at Face Gallery Seoul in 2022 This exhibition looked like an exhibition that completed the expressive change Gennie was the most characteristic artist of the Impasto with a thick brushstro and he introduced a new way of expression after a break that he could not meet in the gallery for about two years The completely flattened touch new work was unfamiliar and fresh It's rare for a star writer to make a complete transformation and I personally thought whether he would fall into a slump or revive would be the point to watch in the future We'll see another exhibition of Kenny in Dresden soon The Leopold Museum of Art is the best art museum for Egon Schiele lovers which best shows the aspects of the Vienna separatists such as Oscar Kokoshka and Richard Gerstle faithfully reproduces their lives and art in a fairly large space focuses on modernism in the late 19th century and beyond The museum's collection is based on the donations of Rudolf and Elizabeth Leopold two ophthalmologists who have accumulated unique collections for half a century since the 1950s The art of Egon Schiele and Gustav Klimt and their friends was branded decadent art until the 1960s and was relatively inexpensive it has established itself as the world's largest collection of 220 Egon Schiele works Leopold and his wife donated 5,200 works and a collection worth around 570 million euros to the newly established private Leopold Museum of Art Foundation in exchange for 160 million euros paid by the Austrian Republic and the Austrian National Bank Rudolph Leopold also served as museum director until his death in 2010 Vienna was a big city with aristocrats and liberal intellectuals strict conservatism and emerging modernism This atmosphere that Arnold Schoenberg called the "liberation of dissonance" gave birth to modernism in Vienna in 1900 The Leopold Museum of Art is able to recreate 1900's Vienna intact thanks to the Leopold couple's lucky collection It is a very pleasant experience to meet in an art museum and innovated in painting and graphic arts the exhibition testifies to the richness of artistic and intellectual achievement of this era The exhibition showcasing the collection <1900 Vienna> recently held an exhibition in Korea Leopold's Egon Schiele shows a truly colorful side from over a dozen self-portraits to geometric landscapes full of winding lines including the paired Portrait of Valie Neuchil (I already met him 10 years ago.) This pair of portraits at their peak was a really high-quality piece of work who described it more realistically than by a camera The decorative feature of the generous use of gold leaf shows the typical aspect of a savvy who dies and lives in art The Leopold Museum of Art is a place where there are so many self-portraits we find interesting features in Egon Schiele's self-portrait There are so many portraits of two figures called double portraits You could see why Adrian Guenny was hooked on Egon Schiele's double portrait The two almost life-size figures are dressed in black monasteries Many people believe that it was done to honor his friendship with mentor Klimt But Schiele wrote in a letter to Carl Lininghouse "The faint colors I painted them are deliberate the emotional human body feeling suicidal impulses will be lost." The figure in this painting creates a variety of interpretations for this reason that in addition to Klimt reminiscent of a Byzantine torch or medieval altarpiece "Scene Stiller" is two withered roses in the left corner of the painting It looks like a code in the picture that symbolizes two tired-looking men who seem to have grown up in the soil Roses symbolize extinction and the ephemerality of life The urge to die must have already been the problem consciousness that dominated the life of 22-year-old Shile Even before the Spanish flu took away his life it gives us a glimpse of his life dominated by the notion of death and existential anxiety through symbols in the painting It's also one of his works that has a rare religious message hidden It is an early masterpiece that enables not only expressive power I thought it would be more interesting to look at it alongside Adrian Guenney's work Living in London, I'm breaking the European Museum of Art.

In 1948, she joined the ANC Women’s League, and by the mid-50s she was at the forefront of the movement playing a pivotal role in the 1956 Women’s March Both she and her husband were jailed multiple times for their activism — and she was also the first woman to be arrested under the General Laws Amendment Act which gave police the power to hold suspects in detention for 90 days without charging them Later in life, she became an envoy for the ANC, reported the BBC visiting world leaders to raise awareness about the anti-apartheid struggle she took up her said in South Africa’s first democratically-elected parliament Throughout her life, she also became a close friend of Mandela and, when he was taken into hospital in 2011, she was one of the few people allowed at his bedside When Ma Sisulu died in 2011, aged 92, she was celebrated for her lifelong commitment to bringing democracy to South Africa Here are a selection of our favourite quotes from Ma Sisulu herself “Women are the people who are going to relieve us from all this oppression and depression The rent boycott that is happening in Soweto now [in the 1980s] is alive because of the women It is the women who are on the street committees educating the people to stand up and protect each other.”  “We are each required to walk our own road and then stop It is only in this way that the next generation can learn from those who have walked before them Then it is up to them to make of it what they will.” “She had remarkable dignity and courage.”  we must thank her most profoundly for the selfless service to all South Africans and humanity at large for her generosity of spirit and for teaching the nation humility the most striking thing about her to me when I was a small boy was that she was very tall “She represented the very best that South Africans can be and deep commitment in the face of adversity and suffering.”  “She has been a very brave and powerful woman in South African politics The first time I met her I was from prison we met her so she could take us through what to expect opposition United Democratic Movement leader The Global Citizen Festival: Mandela 100 is presented and hosted by

certificates that Green-Thompson and his cohort received at their protest graduation in Lenasia in 1988 Green-Thompson encouraged graduands to adopt a professional identity modelled on the values that Ma Sisulu embodied – compassion Ma Sisulu communicated a person’s true value and dignity the graduands as healthcare practitioners would be the only people ever to affirm their patients’ dignity
